Strawberry Roses

Wow! These are gorgeous and you won’t believe how easy they are to make! You will need about 2 minutes per strawberry… yes, they are that easy!

For the rose stems, you can use skewers or lollipop sticks. We recommend placing the stick or stem into the strawberry before you begin so you don’t crush the leaves once it’s done.

These make a beautiful addition to a fruit plate or would be perfect for a bridal shower or Valentine’s day! The kids would even love them as a special snack dipped in whipped cream!

Ingredients:

Large fresh strawberries
Lollipop sticks or plastic rose stems
Small sharp paring knife

Instructions:

Wash and completely dry your strawberries. Insert the lollipop stick or rose stem in the bottom of each strawberry. (If you do it after they're cut it squishes the petals).

Starting at the bottom, cut "petals" slightly angled towards the center of the strawberry but don't cut all the way through. You want to cut about 1/4" down on the first row on the bottom. (I was able to get about 5-6 "petals" on the bottom row).

Using the knife, gently bend each cut piece out so it can slightly curl out creating a petal shape.

With the remaining rows, it works best to cut as close to the skin/red as possible as the piece will curl out better. Start the next row of petals going in between the petals you have already cut.

Continue all of the way to the top. Serve immediately.

The Italians love to celebrate holidays with food and Easter is one of those special holidays. The breads come in every shape and size. Many are sweet, braided and wrapped around eggs.

Braised Lettuce (Laitues Braises): A Take On Julia Child’s Recipe

You can use almost any lettuce, such as chicory, or frisee, or Boston Bib if you are busing large heads, cut them in half. We made these pescartarian because of the shrimp stock, but vegan is easy with vegetable stock, or if serving with beef, a beef stock and bacon. Braised lettuce is a delicious garnish for poultry, white meats such as veal or pork, or steamed white fish. It can be the main accompanied by a warm sweet potato salad. Serves 4 4 heads Romaine lettuce hearts 4 thick slices of bacon (if making not vegetarian or vegan), cut into lardon strips 1 small onion , diced 2 carrots, diced 1 tablespoon/15g plus 1/2 tablespoon/7 butter divided 1 teaspoon/5ml olive oil 1/2 cup/125ml shrimp or seafood stock (see notes above) 1/2 cup/125ml cup white wine or dry white vermouth bouquet garni: 1 parsley branch, 1 branch of thyme,1 bay leaf tied to a cheesecloth ½ tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon parsley Trim stems of lettuce and remove wilted leave

Why Chocolate Feels So Good ... It's All Down To Lubrication

Date: January 13, 2023 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible. By analyzing each of the steps, the interdisciplinary research team hope it will lead to the development of a new generation of luxury chocolates that will have the same feel and texture but will be healthier to consume. During the moments it is in the mouth, the chocolate sensation arises from the way the chocolate is lubricated, either from ingredients in the chocolate itself or from saliva or a combination of the two. Fat plays a key function almost immediately when a piece of chocolate is in contact with the tongue. After that, solid cocoa particles are released and they become important in terms of the tactile sensation, so fat deeper inside the chocolate plays a rather limited role and could be reduced without having

9 Professional Styling Tips From Odysseus Bogioglou

Sharing from Odysseus Bogioglou ---wonderful Greek Chef and Food Stylist 1)Garnishing – Garnish has to be something you eat and not there just to decorate. 2) Po sitioning – There is talk of a virtual clock where meat is at 2 o’clock, starch at 10 and veggies at 6. 3) Less is more is one of the rules. A big plate with a relatively small portion puts the food more in focus. 4) Plates – White or off-white plates make the food stand out more too. 5) Color – There has to be a certain color match. 6) Focus – The main part of the dish, usually the meat should be put most in focus for example a little elevated. 7) Plating - Food has to be simply plated so the person eating should be able to eat without having to go through an intricate design to be able to eat. 8) Setting the Stage – The dish has a face and the part in focus (usually the prettiest) should be towards the person eating, I think we can safely say the "eater" in this case is the camera. 9) Sketch

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves, Passover Perfection

Here is a re-do of my Polish Babci’s Galumpki. These can be done with or without meat, so they can be pareve. These are also rice free, so they can be eaten by both Sephardic and Ashkenazi sects, and goodness knows there are PLENTY of potatoes around during Pesach. If you don't want the starch try it with quinoa (it’s a seed so it can be eaten during Passover). Serves 4-6 Meat 1 medium head cabbage, cored 1 small onion, diced 1 pound/450g ground turkey 3 cups/450g shredded raw potato ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 1 teaspoon/5ml dried dill 28 ounce/794g tomato puree or sauce (if you have leftover spaghetti sauce use that) Preheat oven to 350F/176C/GasMark 4 Using a sharp knife cut the core out of the cabbage bottom. Heat a large stock pot with salted water to a simmer. Place the cabbage in the water. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes until you can pull off individual leaves. You should end up with 15-20 leaves that are big enough to use
